Norwegian ice skating star Stula Holm Regrade (29), who ruined the festive mood by confessing to an affair out of the blue, was eventually abandoned by her ex-girlfriend.
The New York Post, a U.S. media outlet, reported on the 12th (Korea Standard Time) that "the former girlfriend of Legrade made a position through the Norwegian tabloid that it is difficult to forgive."
Legrade's ex-girlfriend said: "I didn't want to be in this situation, it's inconvenient. Regrade has confessed his wrongdoing and love in front of the world, but it's his choice. He made a firm stance, saying, "I have nothing more to say because he also knows my position." He added, "I am grateful to my family and strangers for sympathizing with and supporting my situation."
It is because of the shock confession that Legrade uttered earlier. Legrade publicly confessed his affair shortly after winning the bronze medal in the men's 20km individual biathlon at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics at the Anterselva Biathlon Arena in South Tyrol, Italy, on the 11th.
"I met the love of my life six months ago," he told Norwegian public broadcaster NRK. "He's the most beautiful and sweet person in the world," he said. "But I made the biggest mistake of my life three months ago. I deceived her," he said, shedding tears.
Legrade is a superstar who has won seven gold medals at the Biathlon World Championships and a 4x7.5km relay gold medal at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. He said, "After this confession, many people may see me differently, but I think only of her. I want to share the joy of this medal with her," he said, making people puzzled.
The remarks were broadcast live on Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, which had a huge impact. He was also criticized for taking away the spotlight that Johan-Olave Borton (27, Norway), who won the gold medal in the same event, should receive.
Rather, Borton pointed to the sky immediately after crossing the finish line and impressed his colleague Siebert Gutom Bakken, who died in December last year. But all of this is buried in Regrade's bombshell remarks. Johannes Böh, Norway's biathlon sign, also publicly criticized "Legade's confession, where, time, and content all did not fit the situation."
In response, Regrade had to apologize to the public within a day. Legrade said, "I'm out of my mind these days. Gold-winning teammate Borton should have had all the attention. I apologize to Borton," he said. "I'm also sorry to my ex-girlfriend, who suddenly came into the media spotlight. I will focus only on the Olympics from now on," he said.
